    The pool is very shallow, we didnt use but a nice option to have and nice seats outside.

    Netflix on the TV in the private room was such a treat. The bed was huge and so comfy. Loads of space in the room and it was very clean, option to have the room cleaned daily. Perfect location to explore chiang rai. Very happy with our choice. The staff were so lovely. Breakfast was good. We used the small gym which was a good addition.

    hostel is old, some equipment ( swimming pool) was out of service and there isn't balcony even if i paid for it.

    Everything was fine, not exceptionnal but for the price it was correct. Workers are really kind and helpfull.

    This is one of the best hostels I've stayed at in Thailand. The place is very clean, and the beds are really comfortable. There is a large dining room with natural light everywhere. The staff is very nice, and they offer good options for a continental breakfast.

    Wish we could have stayed here longer. It was outstanding experience! It is on the level of hotel. We had one room with very comfortable king bed. The room was spotless, we received complementary food, tooth brush and other essentials every day. You can have coffee etc. in the kitchen, too. It included self-service breakfast (eggs, toasts, sausages, jam, coffee etc). There is a gym, common space area with board games, billiard. You can rent a bike vis Mercy hotel (B-rider which is reliable and rhe best rental company). The location is excellent and quit. Actually, the whole place is quit and they keep it quiet after 10 pm. Last but not least, the staff was genuinely so kind and helpful. If we ever visit it again, we will stay here. Thank you so much for making our time in Chiang Mai so great.

    All great!

    This hostel's location is very convenient for sightseeing, restaurants, cafes, market & nightlife, but is also in a peaceful alley so there isn't any noise. The staff is really nice and helpful. Our room was clean, spacious and had all that we needed. The guests can also use the pool, the pool table, the kitchen, which also has different tea and coffee options and there is a smoking area in front of the building. There's also lots of space for hanging out or just working. We had a really pleasant stay and wish to come back for a longer one!

    Whilst location was central, hostel was located down an unlit alley way. Just something to be aware of if solo female traveller!!

    Double bedroom was very big with space to unpack and a safe in the room. Daily cleaning and soap & snacks provided in the room. Staff were extremely helpful and friendly! Location was 5 minute walk to clock tower area.

    Common room was extremely hot. I was expecting something a bit nicer for breakfast but basically there was bread, butter, chocolate and eggs that you could cook yourself.

    Staff was really nice, room was very comfortable and cool. It was also clean. I didn't spend much time at the hostel but it seemed to have a nice vibe.

    What I didn't like is the fact that at the moment of booking through the website you are quoted one price and at the moment of arrival if you try to pay with card you get charged 5% more. At least from my perspective that's not the way to handle business.

    Everything was super clean, very comfortable and the staff was fantastic.

    Hostel perfectly clean and beds are very comfy. The big plus is the staff which is just amazing. They are helpful, smiling and open all times if you need anything. I came for couple days and finally stayed almost a month. I tried some other hostels, it’s clearly the best in town!

    Great hostel for socializing and situating yourself for the slow boat trip.

    The A/C made a terrible noise when it was on, had to sleep with earplugs. But everyone in a dorm should be traveling with earplugs anyway so it wasn't extra trouble for me.

    Staff was friendly and helpful and they had a full catalog explaining the different ways of arranging the Laos slow boat, as this is a common starting point. Bed was comfortable, bathroom was clean and separated by gender, and you had to use your key to get in and out. The atmosphere makes it easy to make friends as the kitchen area (where there are SNACKS free for your enjoyment!) and couches/game table are in the center, and rooms surround it. A nice little pool to cool off and there are laundry facilities. In a quiet area close to transport, the Clocktower, restaurants, etc.

    Location is OK and off one of the main streets about a 10 min walk to the night bazaar and food market which is nice and has a good atmosphere. Nothing to do with the Hotel but Chiang Rai town was somewhat disappointing and a little bit limited as small place and a bit seedy in parts with some street (not bars) prostitution so walking the dark alleys be weary if out late in the evening.

    Liked everything about this place. Friendly young staff. Speak superb English some of the best I've heard native Thais speak. The room size was excellent very well equipped room, like a Bangkok Hotel style business hotel. Great shower double head. Big double bed. Kettle safe. Really nice. Older building so a few movement cracks hear and there in walls. But the weather can be quite extreme so no wonder a little weathering. The price point for what u get here is exception. Small swimming pool and a fitness room basic but ok. A pool 🎱 table and lounging area. Laundry machines and drying area. Fully knowledge staff on trips and ideas. This is a good hotel and hostel. I would stay there for sure if in chiang rai for a short trip.

    The beds and room were very comfortable, the staff was fantastic and very helpful. There was information about things to do in Chiang Rai, how to get there, and easy booking for the slow boat. Breakfast was great and there was fruit and nice tea available all day. Would recommend to anyone coming to Chiang Mai!

    It had a really sociable atmosphere but nothing too crazy. We were in a private double room, but there seemed to be plenty of dorms from which we heard no excessive noise. Perfect location- only a short walk from the night bizarre, pubs and restaurants. Staff were really helpful and sorted out our slow boat tickets to Laos which we had no issues during the trip. Nice courtyard to sit in the sun and even a little gym which was a nice touch.
